What’s so special about Maltese Bread? And why does everyone rave so much about the Maltese "hobza"?

Maltese bread is so tasty that one of the main things that locals miss when they’re traveling abroad is precisely the delicious Maltese hobza (Maltese loaf). Yes, it really is THAT good!

Crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, the Maltese hobza is one of the top types of Maltese food that you must absolutely try at least once, before you leave the Maltese Islands.

It is said that nothing compares to Maltese bread! Best eaten when fresh, the Maltese hobza is served in abundance in restaurants, snack bars, pubs, etc.

The bread can be bought from all supermarkets and grocery stores on the islands.

If you’d like to see how this type of bread is made, visit a local bakery.

We guarantee that you’ll find it hard to leave when you’re exposed to the delicious and inviting aroma of the Maltese hobza!

In fact, it can safely be said that most of the popular Maltese dishes cannot really be fully appreciated if they’re not accompanied by a crunchy Maltese loaf.

You can’t really miss the local bread … it’s practically everywhere.

Even if you just go for a beer or a glass of wine in one of the many wine bars or pub ... there’s a good chance that you will come across Hobz tal-Malti (Maltese loaf) being served as appetizers in the form of “hobz biz-zejt”.
